The Andover Teacher's Seminary was established using an unrestricted bequest from William Phillips II. A progressive institution for it's time, it was only the second teacher training program in the United States. It featured  chemistry and physics laboratories and a library of 805 volumes.


Samuel Read Hall, the first principal, is credited with developing respected educational philosophies, as well as inventing the first blackboard and eraser.


Frederick Law Olmstead was a student here.
In 1920, The Boston Missionary Society in partnership with F.H. Foster of Andover founded and operated a summer camp on Pomp's Pond with the mission of providing outdoor recreational opportunities for city children.  


Due to lack of continuing funding the school closed its doors in 1842.
